Large White Solid. This variety used 

 to be planted exclusively, but since the intro- 

 duction of half dwarf and dwarf kinds, it has 

 not been planted so extensively by market 

 gardeners. It is crisp, but not as fine flavored 

 as the following kinds. 



Perfection Hartwell. This variety is in 

 size between the Large White Solid and Dwarf 

 kinds; it is of excellent quality, very thick, 

 and when blanched the heart is of a beautiful 

 golden yellow color; preferable to the White 

 Solid, and one of the best kinds ever intro- 

 duced. 



Dwarf Large Ribbed. This kind was 

 brought here some years ago from France. 

 It is short but very thick ribbed, solid and

of fine flavor. The best dwarf variety for 

 this section. 



Golden Self Blanching. A Frencn vari- 

 ety, of the best quality. The heart is solid, 

 very tender, of a beautiful yellow color; the 

 ribs brittle and of a delicious flavor. Can 

 not be too highly recommended. 



Large White Plume. A handsome thick 

 ribbed variety lately introduced in the South, 

 of a yellowish white color and very crisp 

 and tender. It is easily bleached requiring 

 but little earthing up, as the stalk, portions 

 of the inner leaves and heart are white 

 naturally. The originator claims that up to 

 but a few years ago this variety has always 

 had a tendency to revert to the old green 



Celeriac or Turnip-Rooted Celery. 



Golden Self-Blanching Celery. 



When in doubt consult Steckler.
